[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mbai2:
I know there have been multiple threads on sleep issues but I haven't found one like this one.

My phone is able to sleep but only for a certain amount of time. It seems that after I reboot my phone, it can sleep appropriately for the first 8-12 hours and the battery life is amazing during this time and only drops about 20-30%. Up time verses awake time also reflects this. However, after about 8-12 hours, the phone stops going to sleep and the awake timer never stops running. This will drain the remainder of the battery in about 10 hours. After a reboot, the phone is able to sleep again until it develops insomnia once more. Does anyone know what could be causing the phone to stay awake only after being on for several hours? I'm rooted on the stock firmware with the latest OTA. Only extra programs are Google Voice, ePocrates, and Slacker Radio.

*#*#4636#*#* was no help in tracking down the culprit. Spare Parts contributed pretty much nothing either.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nagrom Nniuq:
Mine did this for the first time yesterday. It's hasn't done it since, but it was very weird. I checked the sleep settings and it was still set to 1 minute, but the phone would not turn itself off.

Same Problem...

I have tried every thing to solve this issue. Change phones; problem return. No apps other than Stock; problem returns. Syncing Exchange, Facebook, and HTC Facebook. Custom Ringtones seem to increase the speed of the error occurrence. Tried leaving them off, but the problem returned. I have changed SD cards. reformated the card, and started it fresh. I have done a factory reset between each test (at least 8 at this point). I have a suspicious that it is the contacts that are getting corrupted, but I have not been able to verify that theory.

i just bought my droind from verizon and was told that there is a way to get my laptop on the internet from my phone. thanx in advance
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] srwood:
Yes. The easiest way is PDAnet. This uses a USB connection from comp to phone. Download at junefrabrics.com You can try the free version. The paid version allows access to https sites. It works well. The more difficult solution is to root your phone and download WiFi tether from the market for Wifi tethering. Root instructions at droid-life.com

or you can wait for Froyo which should have a tethering option but expect to pay Verizon $20/month.
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] davi10:
thank you for your response, i just want to be able to surf the web on my laptop from my phone. is it necessary to get the paid version? thanx again for your help.
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] srwood:
The paid version isn't necessary unless you want to go to a site that begins with https: (a secure site). Try the free version you can purchase if you need to. Btw rooting is not that hard Kellex has some excellent vids on Droid-Life.com.
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] ivanng:
you can try out EasyTether in the app market..

Hi, I've read around that you should rename the zip files you want to flash to update.zip, but I was wondering if flashing the zip using its default name without changing it to update.zip would affect the flashing?

[Vibrant General] julez456:
I made a new "Movie" folder on the internal memory of my Vibrant and transferred the Avatar movie into it but of course now the Avatar Icon doesn't work anymore. "file not found" error..I knew that was going to happen and now when I go into the new Movie folder and click on the avatar.dcf file it won't open properly. I have to long press the file > click "open as" > then click "Video" to be able to watch the movie.

My question is, is there any way to possibly re-direct the Avatar Icon to open the movie from the new location? I'm sure there is probably is simple way of doing this and it probably would require adb which I am still new to and haven't been able to get to work yet on my laptop running Windows 7 but if there is another way of doing it not requiring adb I would greatly appreciate it. :D

[Vibrant General] hah2110:
Randomly when I'm on WiFi, I'll see 3G not disappearing which means I'm using double radios. Any ideas why it doesn't deactivate? Most of the time it works, but sometimes I need to turn off/turn on WiFi to fix it.
[Vibrant General] hah2110:
Bump bump...
[Vibrant General] XfooYen:
Some data is only accessible through your carrier signal, therefore you may notice 3g kick in while on wifi. It shouldn't happen all the time though like when just surfing the web. Does this happen in programs like browser while surfing?
[Vibrant General] gravis86:
How long are both on at the same time? I'm sure there's a few seconds of changeover time from one to the other. Also like XfooYen stated some things could require a carrier data signal, for example the A-GPS.

Stopped using touch wiz and switched to launcherpro as my default home app, reduced lag by a lot
[Vibrant General] navyb1003:
I first installed this program and deleted it. Well now I decided I want it back but it doesn't show up in my apps drawer. It shows up in settings under manage apps but still no way to set it as my default. I sent the dev an email but never got a response. What do I do?
[Vibrant General] DKYang:
Go to Settings > Applications > Manage Apps. Then press Menu > List all apps. Fine "twlauncher" and clear defaults for it.
[Vibrant General] techpreneur:
Go to Settings - Applications - Manage applications - Press menu button (left bottom) - select filter -select running - go down to the bottom TwLauncher - Click clear defaults - press home buttom.

It will ask you what you want to use as your default.
[Vibrant General] disturkis4u:
Delete and reinstall it and it should ask to set as default when you press home
[Vibrant General] BigWorldJust:
Yeah, TouchWiz is quite lagly at the moment.

I'd love to play games like this on my Desire (or iPod Touch for that matter), but the fact remains that playing a game like this on a touchscreen must be nigh on impossible.

I know wii accessories can be used on non-Sense ROMs, but is there another option?
[Desire General] th3:
You might be very surprised; I was ;)

I grew up during the heydays of Master System, Mega Drive and Nintendo gaming so I remember these titles and their play very well. If you can avoid sweaty fingers and a smudgy screen making your joypad swiping near impossible... it works very well actually. I've played many such old skool games on it.

I'm not sure if you've tried any of the emulators but they basically change your screen into a joypad with re-arrangeable buttons and the lot of them movable around the screen. The buttons available can be chosen along with their transparency. The battery drain is lower than typical multimedia usage.

Me trying to kill Ryu just now (tough nut - uploaded from phone) -> http://db.tt/Z1bCnK

Looks like I made Chun Li cry -> http://db.tt/fUKTSz

Those are direct screenshots during play. Put those images on the phone in landscape mode and maximize until the height hits the edge. That's exactly what the size of the game display you'll see.

My battery test is being cut a little short, I need my phone charged for later tonight and I'm not 100% sure it will make it through the day. Here are my results so far though.

2d 5h 23m since unplugged, 12% battery remaining. Yes that is over 53 hours of moderate usage.

Incase you are wondering what im running here its not all that complicated, I wouldn't be surprised to see a lot of you getting similar life.

Fresh 1.0.1 with ffolkes kernel and setcpu set to 245 max when screen is off combined with the newest radio does the trick. Anyone able to push this thing past 3 days with moderate usage have anymore tips? I think mine would have made it over 3 days if I didnt play about an hour a day of 3d games.

Also, thinking of switching to netarchy-toastmod kernel, anyone having similar life with that kernel? Wouldn't expect it to be anything different as its mostly the underclocking saving battery.

My daily usage

30 emails

250 sms

10 calls, 60 minutes (most 3 minutes or less)

1 hour 3d gaming

auto-brightness

15 minutes web browsing

1 hour showing off the phone/someone playing with it

only use gps or music when charging in a car, which i didn't for these three days.

also, live in chicago, really well mapped for coverage, i never roam. also, rarely use 4g i have a usb modem too so no need for tethering.

Define moderate use?

Surfing the web for 3 hours a day, checking email 10 times a day, Searching the market and playing games for an hour a day?
[EVO 4G General] hydralisk:
I don't know what you mean by moderate usage :P When I'm browsing the web for half an hour, I can literally watch the battery drain.... and when I check usage, it's always display (mostly) and voice calls. I see neither on yours. Did you even use the phone during those 2 days? :p
[EVO 4G General] tonyh703:
you can find it in any number of posts. first check your radio version, you might already be at the latest version (2.05.00.06.10 ---settings > about phone > software information > baseband version)

Pretty much nothing. Unplug phone, go to work, carry it in my pocket and check time occasionally. Browse internet for half hour at break. Carry it in my pocket and check time occasionally. Browse internet for half hour at second break. Carry it in my pocket and check time occasionally. 8.5 hours since unplugged, <15% battery remaining.

Problem is about 0 bars service at work. Constantly switching from Sprint to Roaming.

I'm sorry, but it's just not possible to get those kind of runtimes if you really use the tool. Try using this thing the way it was intended, not just as some kind of a toy just to see what kind of life you can get out of a charge.

I'm on the phone, got bluetooth going, wifi, ... all day long. Average 75 incoming emails, maybe the same texts, several photos for documentation, about the same or more reply's to emails, couple of hours on the phone, .... lucky to make it to 5pm.

No way anyone can convince me that they can go even 24 hrs with my use. No way.
[EVO 4G General] davebu:
WiFi can actually save even more battery if you are in the same location long enough, but I have no need to keep bluetooth on at all times. Updating first post with more info on my usage, probably less than yours but still use a lot.

running the phone with these settings pretty much makes it impossible for it to die on a day's use, even for really heavy users. to kill it you're gonna have to run wifi tether, gps, or 4g for a while. i never use gps unless its plugged in, and i rarely use 4g.

[EVO 4G General] SayWhat10:
I agree

I mean sure i think it might be possible to go a day or 2 on the EVO, but with such the great phone that the EVO is, i USE my phone. Off break people say to turn off 4G. Well 4G is what makes the phone stand out. 4G is why im paying $10 extra a month,so i cant fathom wanting to do that in the first place. PLus i browse for hours, send hundreds of text, but only talk on the phone about an hour a day or less. But im ALWAYS doing something on my phone like going to market, checkign out programs, customizing my phone, im ALWAYS on it. The best ive gotten on the factory battery is about 5 hours or so if im using it. However i can go to sleep at night, and wake up about 7/8 hours later with only about 10-15% battery gone,but of course the phone is doing almost nothing when i turn screen off so phone can sleep(plus i have juice defender to turn off 3g when screen off). My battery drains WHILE im using it and im running DC rom thats supposed to have battery save features)

So i think the difference between me and most others, is that i TOTALLY use my phone the way you should use the only 4G phone on the market. People talking they get 30 or so emails a day, with spam i get about 500. Heck most of it comes from face book notification emails alone.

With all this skimp usage yall doing not sure why yall even got an EVO just to treat it like a regular ole small phone used just to just be a phone(phone calls)

Im not tripping tho. Seido finally put out their 3500mah battery and its on its way. (i also had their thick battery for the palm pre which im coming from, so extra thickness is no big deal to me)
[EVO 4G General] davebu:
I have no idea why U have 500 spam emails a day, but did u ever think to not sync your spam? I have no idea how many spam emails i get i just set gmail to autodelete incoming spam. Also, why bother with FB emails when you have FB all over your phone anyway? As for your 4G use, thats great that you actually have something to use it for, I really don't, especially because I have a 4G modem from clear already. 3G browsing is fast enough for the most part, unless I'm going to watch something online.

FB/Twitter 2 hrs

Weather 3 hrs

Push Gmail

I do use my evo all the time and I'm always downloading new apps or flashing themes and fonts so its notblike I don't use it. But I don't have other reasons I used the phone. I do alot of remote desktop control and I edit spreadsheets most of the day. I use the phone to the Max for what benifits me so I do thing thavis an incorrect statement to say we have this beautiful device for no reason and not using it to full potential. We all differ from how the next person uses it. I can only share the positives that my device shows and one of them is my long battery life. We can all agree its way longer than the WA the phone came out of the box. But like I said before the battery lenght will vary per device by usage

My typical day consist of an average of 2gb of data download. Well over 200 emails(most are from Facebook,twitter, this forum and personal email).

With all of that I still get 20 hours of battery life with setcpu at 128 all day. And on the weekends or at night ill crank it up to 1.15 just for fun and to show off.

I didnt say i get 500 spam emails i day. I said my total WITH spam will get up to about 500. Meaning, i may be 300-400 good email, with the rest 100 spam, adding up to 500.

And no i dont sync spam, who does that? Are you assuming im checking a gmail account? I normally check my email at home on my dekstop using microsoft outlook. I am checking a private .com email address (POP). My outlook has spam protection installed so i only see the good email. However i cant put that spam protection on my phone can i?

[EVO 4G General] bassic:
It looks like I need to get Fresh 1.0.1 - I'm just waiting until after my 30 day return window.

I got a new EVO two days ago. I unboxed it, charged it up, turned it on to look and play for 5 minutes, then turned it OFF and put it back in the box until I had a chance to activate it the next day. When I turned the phone back on to activate, there was only 60% battery remaining. That was with the phone sitting in a box, on my desk in a 70 degree room. Perhaps I need to be more patient and give it a few charge/discharge cycles with full use?
[EVO 4G General] davebu:
Yea, I actually didn't start getting this good of battery life until about two weeks into a new battery. Even before I updated to Fresh 1.0.1 and the new radios I started getting really good life, around 20 hours, up from 16. SetCPU bumped me up to 24-30, but the new radio and rom doubled it.
